I think there was a thread on this a while ago, but this is a new price drop so I thought it was worth a new thread.

For a budget laptop in this range, you can't really do better than this. Similar laptops go for 300 euro in the B&M shops.

EDIT: Literally just got updated back to €229 as soon as I posted this. Sorry mods, delete please.

Then back to 182 and then back to 229 just as i refresh, weird!

Showing at €229 for me, are you including a voucher in your price?

CJmasgrande · 28-10-2014 3:39pm

Its €229 when I view it?

CathalRyano · 28-10-2014 3:40pm

Hence the edit, sorry about that, must have just been a glitch or something.

Harry66 · 28-10-2014 3:48pm

Still a bargain though!

shardylan · 28-10-2014 3:53pm

Was showing up as €189 for me then when I went in again €229 .Might be worth going in and out

Yep me too

Zombienosh · 28-10-2014 4:16pm

I even went on to chat with them, they're not budging on the "incorrect price"

The_Conductor · 28-10-2014 4:23pm

Ditto. I think the 182 price may be an ex VAT price......

It's just a glitch, I saw the 182, and it included VAT and shipping. Then when it showed my cart with the original 229 price, the ex.VAT price was different.

Does this laptop have a DVD drive

badboybubby · 29-10-2014 12:49pm

Bought one of these a few weeks back for 229.Only using it for web browsing,youtube,netflix etc and it handles them fine.Battery life seems good too.No usb 3,dvd drive or ethernet port but cant complain at that price.

It's regularly for sale for €209 incl VAT and shipping, for anybody not in a hurry who wants to save some more

Managed to snap up 2 for 197 a few weeks ago.

Lads the brother-in-law is looking to buy this for general surfing, facebook and youtube; what has been your experience with it? Cheers

Grand laptop, perfectly fine for that usage. It wont have the longest battery life, but should be serviceable. So long as they're not expecting a Macbook Pro for 200 quid, they should be fine!

There a good lot of reviews here

I was skeptical because of Celeron but I still took chance & bought this one
This is a brilliant laptop, battery life approx 6hours, not at all slow, 18 seconds start up & 4 seconds shut down with normal 5400rpm HDD it came with, before receiving the laptop i also ordered SSD from Amazon as one of the reviews on Amazon suggested to replace HDD with SSD to make it speedy, Don't know if i need that one
No fan or heat up issue, very quite & light
Installed classic shell which get rid of metro interface
Got rid of trial McAfee & installed AVG (one of the BA threads for 4 year free AVG IS, works fine)
I am very delighted with this

jaqian · 31-10-2014 11:49am

Thanks lads, I've ordered that; really interesting to see the evolution of the laptop with no more ethernet or dvd drive, reminds me of some early Macs that got rid of the floppy drive etc.
